2. Information We Collect Through Automated Means
We collect certain information about your use of the Services and the devices you use to access the Services, as described in this Section. As discussed further below, we and our service providers (which are third party companies that work on our behalf), may use a variety of technologies, including cookies and similar tools, to assist in collecting this information.
Our Websites. When you use our Websites, we collect and analyze information such as your IP address, browser types, browser language, operating system, the state or country from which you accessed the Services, software and hardware attributes (including device IDs) referring and exit pages and URLs, platform type, the number of clicks, files you download, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the terms you use in searches on our sites, the date and time you used the Services, error logs, and other similar information.
Our Apps. When you use our Apps, we automatically receive certain information about the mobile phone, tablet, or computer used to access the Apps, including a mobile device identifier, IP address, operating system, version, Internet service provider, browser type, domain name and other similar information, whether and when you update the Apps, date and time of use, and how you use the Apps, including time spent in different portions of the Apps.
Location Information. When you use the Services, we and our service providers may automatically collect general location information (e.g., IP address, city/state and or postal code associated with an IP address) from your computer or mobile device. This information allows us to enable access to content that varies based on a user’s general location (e.g., to provide you with accurate sales tax information and to deliver content customized to your location).
We will ask your permission before collecting your precise GPS location information. In such instances, we will use your precise geo-location information to provide customized services, content, promotional offers and other information that may be of interest to you. If you no longer wish for us and our service providers to collect and use GPS location information, you may disable the location features on your device. Please see your device manufacturer settings.
Our Use of Cookies and Similar Online Tools. To collect the information discussed in this Section, we and our service providers use web server logs, cookies, tags, SDKs, tracking pixels, and other similar tracking technologies. We use these technologies to offer you a more tailored experience.
A web server log is a file where website activity is stored.
An SDK is a set of tools and/or code that we embed in our Apps and software to allow third parties to collect information about how users interact with the Services.
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a site, that enables us to: (i) recognize your computer/device; (ii) store your preferences and settings; (iii) understand the parts of the Services you have visited and used; (iv), enhance your user experience by delivering and measuring the effectiveness of content and advertising tailored to your interests; (v) perform searches and analytics; and (vi) assist with security and administrative functions.
Tracking pixels (sometimes referred to as web beacons or clear GIFs) are tiny electronic tags with a unique identifier embedded in websites, online ads and/or email that are designed to: (1) collect usage information like ad impressions or clicks and email open rates; (2) measure popularity of the Services and associated advertising; and (3) access user cookies.
As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather information through other methods.
Please note that you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information (e.g., Internet Explorer; Google Chrome; Mozilla Firefox; or Apple Safari). Please note that by blocking, disabling, or managing any or all cookies, you may not have access to certain features or offerings of the Services.
3. Information We Collect From Social Media and Other Content Platforms
When you “like” or “follow” us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or other social media sites, we may collect some information from you including your name, email address, and any comments or content you post relevant to us. We also collect your information if you sign up for one of our promotions or submit information to us through social media sites.
4. Information We Receive From Other Sources
We work closely with third parties (including, for example, third party intermediaries, such as the physicians, medical professionals, and pharmacies with whom we partner to provide you with the Services and their health care services, sub-contractors in technical, advertising networks, analytics providers, and search information providers). Such third parties will sometimes provide us with additional information about you.
PURPOSES FOR HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
In connection with providing you with the Services, we may use your information for our business purposes to:
Carry out, improve, and manage the Services and, as applicable, facilitate the provision of health care services to you by physicians or other health care providers and ensure that the physicians or health care providers have the services and support necessary for health care operations.
Engage in internal research to understand the effectiveness of our Services, improve our Services, and better understand our user base. If we publish or provide the results of this research to others, such research will be presented in a de-identified and aggregate form such that individual users cannot be identified.
Communicate with you about the Services, your use of the Services, or your inquiries related to the Services and send you communications on behalf of physicians or other health care providers utilizing the Services to meet your needs.
Communicate with you by email, postal mail, or phone about surveys, promotions, special events or our products and Services and those of our subsidiaries, affiliates, and parent companies and any of their related businesses and those of our third-party partners.
Provide you with technical support and customer service.
Verify your identity and administer your account, including processing your payments and fulfilling your orders.
Ensure that content from our Services is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer or device, allow you to participate in interactive features of our Services (when you choose to do so), and as part of our efforts to keep our Services safe and secure.
Measure or understand the effectiveness of advertising and content we serve to you and others, and to deliver and customize relevant advertising and content to you.

Combined Information. For the purposes discussed in this Privacy Policy, we may combine the information that we collect through the Services with information that we receive from other sources, both online and offline, and use and share such combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Aggregate/De-Identified Data. We may aggregate and/or de-identify any information collected through the Services so that such information can no longer be linked to you or your device (“Aggregate/De-Identified Information”). We may use Aggregate/De-Identified Information for any purpose, including for research and marketing purposes, and may also share such data with any third parties, including advertisers, promotional partners, and sponsors.
ONLINE ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING
1. Online Analytics
We may use third-party web analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics (including Google Signals, Google User-ID, and other Google Analytics features) and MixPanel) on our Services to collect and analyze usage information through cookies and similar tools; engage in auditing, research, or reporting; assist with fraud prevention; try to locate the same unique users across multiple browsers or devices to better tailor services and features; and provide certain features to you. If you have a Google account with personalized advertising enabled, through Google Signals, Google will also be able to gather for us analytics and engagement information from across the various devices you use to access the Services. To prevent Google from using your information for analytics (including cross-device tracking for personalization purposes), you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. And to opt out of Google Signals, please open your “Settings” app, locate and tap “Google,” select “Ads,” and turn ON “Opt out of Ads Personalization.” You may also be able to disable cross-device tracking through your Android or Apple device-based settings.
If you receive email from us, we may use certain analytics tools, such as clear GIFs to capture data such as when you open our message or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.
2. Online Advertising
The Services may integrate third-party advertising technologies (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Facebook, Google Ad Words, Criteo and others) that use cookies and other technologies to deliver relevant content and advertising for OPTIMIZED HEALTH products on the Services, as well as on other websites you visit and other applications you use. The ads may be based on various factors such as the content of the page you are visiting, information you enter such as your searches, demographic data, and other information we collect from you. These ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and across other websites and online services.
We sometimes provide our customer information (such as email addresses) to service providers, who may “match” this information in de-identified form to cookies (or mobile ad identifiers) and other proprietary IDs, in order to provide you with more relevant ads when you visit other websites and mobile applications.
We neither have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on your device you use to access the Services by non-affiliated third party advertising network services. If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link, or Your Online Choices to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. If you are interested in more information about Criteo’s privacy practices or opting-out of Criteo’s advertising services, you may view their Privacy Policy. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, visit the Google Ads Settings page. We do not control these opt-out links or whether any particular company chooses to participate in these opt-out programs. We are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.
Please note that if you exercise the opt out choices above, you will still see advertising when you use the Services, but it will not be tailored to you based on your online behavior over time.
3. Mobile Advertising
When using mobile applications from us or others, you may also receive tailored in-application advertisements. We may use third-party service providers to deliver advertisements on mobile applications or for mobile application analytics. Each operating system, iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices, and Windows for Microsoft devices provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. We do not control how the applicable platform operator allows you to control receiving personalized in-application advertisements; thus, you should contact the platform provider for further details on opting out of tailored in-application advertisements. You may review the support materials and/or the device settings for the respective operating systems to opt-out of tailored in-app advertisements.
4. Notice Concerning Do Not Track
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our website for third party purposes, and that is why we provide the variety of opt-out mechanisms listed above. However, we do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. To learn more about Do Not Track, you can do so here.
HOW WE SHARE AND DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION
We may share your information for our business purposes in the following ways:
Affiliates and Subsidiaries. We may share information we collect within any OPTIMIZED HEALTH member or group (i.e., our subsidiaries and affiliates, including our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries) to deliver products and services to you, ensure a consistent level of service across our products and services, and enhance our products, services, and your customer experience.
Health Care Providers and Services. We share your information with health care providers: (i) to schedule and fulfill appointments and provide health care services as part of the Services, (ii) to whom you send messages through our Services, and (iii) for other treatment, payment or health care operations purposes, including pharmacy services, upon your request.
Service Providers. We provide access to or share your information with select third parties who use the information to perform services on our behalf. They provide a variety of services to us, including billing, sales, marketing, advertising, analytics, research, customer service, shipping and fulfillment, data storage, IT and security, fraud prevention, payment processing, and auditing and legal services. These entities may also include health care organizations, pharmacies, and other third parties we use to support our business or in connection with the administration and support of the Services.
Protection of OPTIMIZED HEALTH and Others. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that we may access, retain and disclose the information we collect and maintain about you if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, retention or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process (e.g. a subpoena or court order); (b) enforce our Terms of Use, this Privacy Policy, or other contracts with you, including investigation of potential violations thereof; (c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; (d) respond to your requests for customer service; and/or (e) protect the rights, property or personal safety of OPTIMIZED HEALTH, its agents and affiliates, its users and/or the public. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection, and spam/malware prevention, and similar purposes.
Business Transfers. As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge, or partner with other companies. In such transactions, (including in contemplation of such transactions) user information may be among the transferred assets. If a portion or all of our assets are sold or transferred to a third-party, customer information (including your email address) would likely be one of the transferred business assets. If such transfer is subject to additional mandatory restrictions under applicable laws, we will comply with such restrictions.
Public Forums. Certain features of our Services make it possible for you to share comments publicly with other users. Any information that you submit through such features is not confidential, and we may use it for any purpose (including in testimonials or other marketing materials). For example, if you submit a product review on one of our sites, we may display your review (along with the name provided, if any) on other OPTIMIZED HEALTH websites and on third-party websites. Any information you post openly in these ways will be available to the public at large and potentially accessible through third-party search engines. Accordingly, please take care when using these features.
Consent. We may also disclose your information in other ways you direct us to and when we have your consent.
Aggregate/De-Identified Information. We reserve the right to create Aggregate/De-Identified Data from the information we collect through the Services and our sharing of such Aggregate/De-Identified Data is in our discretion.
YOUR MARKETING CHOICES
You may instruct us not to use your contact information to contact you by email, postal mail, or phone regarding products, services, promotions and special events that might appeal to your interests by contacting us using the information below. In commercial email messages, you can also opt out by following the instructions located at the bottom of such emails. Please note that, regardless of your request, we may still use and share certain information as permitted by this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law. For example, you may not opt out of certain operational emails, such as those reflecting our relationship or transactions with you.
THIRD PARTY SERVICES AND NOTICE ABOUT HEALTH INFORMATION
This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices, including data privacy and security process and standards of any third parties, including physicians and other health care providers using the Services, the manufacturer of your mobile device and other IT hardware and software, and any other third party mobile application, website, or service to which our Services may contain a link. These third parties may at times gather information from or about you. We have no control over the privacy practices of these third parties. The collection, use, and disclosure of your information will be subject to the privacy policies of the third-party websites or services, and not this Privacy Policy. We urge you to read the privacy and security policies of these third parties.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
OPTIMIZED HEALTH takes a variety of technical and organizational security measures to protect your information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, and no means of electronic or physical storage, is absolutely secure. As such, you acknowledge and accept that we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to, through, or on our Services or via the Internet and that any such transmission is at your own risk.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access the Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Services.

Categories of personal information we collect and disclose. Throughout this Policy, we discuss in detail the specific pieces of personal information we collect from and about our users. Under the CCPA, we are also required to provide you with the “categories” of personal information we collect and the categories of third parties to which we disclose personal information. Please note that some of the information we collect through the Services (e.g., medical information), is subject to various health data privacy laws, and is therefore not subject to the CCPA. See the following chart to understand more about the categories of personal information we collect that are subject to the CCPA and the third parties to which we disclose it:

Your California Privacy Rights
CCPA Rights Disclosure. If you are a California resident, the CCPA allows you to make certain requests about your personal information. Specifically, the CCPA allows you to request us to:
Inform you about the categories of personal information we collect or disclose about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we share/disclose personal information.
Provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you.
Delete certain information we have about you.
The CCPA further provides you with the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising your rights.
Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under California law. For example, we need certain information in order to provide the Services to you. We also will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request.
If you are a California resident and you would like to exercise any of your data rights under California law, please click here to submit your request through our webform. Alternatively, you can email us at cs@optimized.health.
Please include your full name, email address and residential address associated with your use of our Services, along with the rights you would like to exercise, so that we can process your request in an efficient manner. If you would like to receive a copy of your medical record in connection with your request, please indicate that in your email message. By requesting your medical record in this way, you are agreeing to receive your medical record in an unencrypted email message.
Sale of Personal Information.
OPTIMIZED HEALTH does not, and will not, sell information that identifies you such as your name, email address, phone number, or postal address. Like many companies with an internet presence, we do work with third parties that provide marketing and advertising services to us, including interest-based advertising services, and these third parties may place tags, pixels, cookies, beacons, and other similar tracking mechanisms on our Website and App and collect your online identifiers. Because of the CCPA’s broad definitions of “sale” and “personal information,” making certain online identifiers available to these companies so that they can provide marketing and advertising services to OPTIMIZED HEALTH may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA . To opt out of sharing your information with participating third parties for interest-based advertising, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link, and Your Online Choices. Please note that these opt-outs are device and browser based, so you will need to opt out on each of your devices and browsers. For more information, see the Online Analytics and Advertising Section above.
Shine the Light Disclosure. The California “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
PRIVACY INFORMATION FOR NEVADA RESIDENTS
Under Nevada law, certain Nevada consumers may opt out of the sale of “personally identifiable information” for monetary consideration (as such terms are defined under Nevada law) to a person for that person to license or sell such information to additional persons. We do not engage in such activity; however, if you are a Nevada resident who has purchased services from us, you may submit a request to opt out of any potential future sales under Nevada law by cs@optimized.health. Please note we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity and the authenticity of the request. Once verified, we will maintain your request in the event our practices change.
RETENTION OF YOUR INFORMATION
We keep your information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The length of time for which we retain information depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws.
REVISIONS TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in the law, our data collection and use practices, the features of our Services, or advances in technology. We will make the revised Privacy Policy accessible through the Services, so you should review it periodically. The date this Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the document. You are responsible for periodically monitoring and reviewing any updates to the Privacy Policy. If we make a material change to the Privacy Policy, we will provide you with appropriate notice in accordance with legal requirements. Your continued use of our Websites or Apps after such amendments (and notice, where applicable) will be deemed your acknowledgment of these changes to this Privacy Policy.

• Interactions between a patient and health care provider via audio, video, and/or data communications; and

Your relationship with OPTIMIZED HEALTH

You understand that by coordinating and in certain cases consulting with a Beluga Health, P.A. or affiliate health care provider through the Services, you are not entering into a provider-patient relationship with OPTIMIZED HEALTH

Consultative service
In some cases, a Beluga Health, P.A. or affiliated health care provider may use the Services to provide advice or treatment to you. A health care provider consulting with you through the Services may not have the benefit of information that would be obtained by examining you in person and observing your physical condition, in each instance. Therefore, the health care provider may not be aware of facts or information that may affect his or her opinion regarding a potential diagnosis or treatment recommendation. To reduce the risk to you of this limitation, OPTIMIZED HEALTH strongly encourages you to provide all relevant information and discuss any and all diagnosis and treatment options with a health care provider. Moreover, a health care provider utilizing OPTIMIZED HEALTH may be limited by state law in prescribing certain medications to you without first conducting an in-person physical examination. By deciding to engage the Services, you acknowledge and agree that you are aware of these limitations and agree to assume the risk of these limitations. Furthermore, you agree and accept that: (i) any diagnosis you may receive is limited and, in some cases, provisional; (ii) the health care services are not intended, in all cases, to replace a full medical evaluation or an in-person visit with a health care provider; (iii) a health care provider acting through the Services may not have important information that is usually obtained through a “hands-on” physical examination; and (iv) the absence of a physical examination may affect the health care provider’s ability to diagnose any potential condition, disease or injury.

Special notice to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries
Federal and state health care programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, do not pay for all health care costs, even for some health care services and products that you or your health care provider have good reason to think you need. If you are a beneficiary of a federal or state health care program, and such program does not pay for certain services or products rendered to you, you may have to pay for these services and products. As we understand it, neither federal nor state health care programs currently pay for any of the medical services or products made available through the Services performed by affiliated health care organizations or providers, at least not in the way such services or products are provided (i.e., using telemedicine and bundled treatment offerings). By agreeing to use the Services, you acknowledge and agree that: (1) you will pay directly for any medical services and products provided to you, and (2) neither OPTIMIZED HEALTH nor any OPTIMIZED HEALTH affiliated health care organization or provider will bill any federal or state health care program for such medical services or products.
Testosterone health program terms and conditions
This section describes additional terms and conditions applicable to your participation in the Testosterone Health Program (the “Program”) offered through OPTIMIZED HEALTH and the affiliated professional entities that provide services on the OPTIMIZED HEALTH platform. The Program is designed to provide access to routine and necessary services for the management of low testosterone in biological males caused by secondary hypogonadism. The Program is a membership-based service through which eligible Members can obtain limited medical care, including at-home phlebotomy services, medication at the discretion of the Member’s provider, and pharmacy services for a recurring monthly payment. The Program is not health insurance or a substitute for health insurance, does not meet any individual health insurance mandate under federal or state law, and cannot replace your in-person provider relationships. You should keep your existing health insurance coverage while you are participating in the Program or obtain health insurance coverage if you do not currently have it.
Eligibility limitations applicable to the Program
Except in New York, Florida, and Illinois, in order to be eligible to participate in the program you must have a commercial health insurance benefits plan, including, but not limited to, an employer-provided health insurance plan, that may be billed for laboratory services. To learn more about billing for laboratory services please see the “Laboratory testing services not included” section below. You understand and agree that the affiliated professional entities, the healthcare professionals practicing on the Bask platform, and the pharmacies in the Bask Pharmacy Network will not bill your health insurance benefits plan for the health care and pharmacy services and products that you receive as part of the Program and that such health care and pharmacy services and products may not be eligible for reimbursement. You understand and agree that you are responsible for all fees due to receive health care and pharmacy services and products consistent with the “Payment” and “Special notice to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries” sections above.
Onboarding and diagnosis
In order to participate in the Program, you must be evaluated by a doctor or nurse practitioner on the OPTIMIZED HEALTH platform and, in the professional judgment of such health care provider, meet the clinical criteria for participation. To be evaluated for participation, you must complete an initial onboarding telehealth medical assessment (the “Diagnosis Online Visit”) with a doctor or nurse practitioner and obtain laboratory blood testing to measure your key physiological indicators including, but not limited to, your serum testosterone levels. If, following a review of the laboratory results and the Diagnosis Online Visit, your health care provider determines that you are a good candidate for treatment through the Program, he or she may initiate such treatment by writing you a prescription.
You acknowledge and agree that, even if you do not meet the clinical criteria for participation in the Program, you are responsible for payment of the cost of the Diagnosis Online Visit and any laboratory testing that your health care provider orders for you and such cost is not included in the Membership Fee.
Membership and Additional Services
Your membership (“Membership”) in the Program, including your ability to access the Membership Services and your obligation to pay Membership Fees (each as defined below) will commence when your health care provider communicates your care plan, risks and benefits of treatment, and you acknowledge such and elect to proceed with participation in the Program.
The Program includes:
• 12 months of Membership
• Up to eight (8) discrete medical consults per year with your OPTIMIZED HEALTH-affiliated health care provider, all of which will be set on a pre-scheduled basis according to your personalized care plan.
• Health care provider services required to order and interpret up to eight (8) lab panels per year (Note: the costs of the laboratory tests are not included in your Membership and must be paid by you separately)
• Up to eight (8) at-home blood draws
• Secure messaging with your OPTIMIZED HEALTH-affiliated healthcare provider between discrete medical consults
• Fulfillment of prescription medication for the treatment of low testosterone (as prescribed), if you choose to have your prescription filled by the OPTIMIZED HEALTH Pharmacy Network, with free two-day shipping
In certain cases, you or your health care provider may request that you complete services (e.g., medical consults, laboratory tests) in excess of the Membership Services. For each medical consult after the eighth consult, for each at-home blood draw after the eighth at-home blood draw, and for each lab result interpretation after the eighth lab result interpretation, (the “Additional Services”) you will be charged a separate fee (the “Additional Services Fee”). You will be charged an Additional Services Fee of $15.00 for each additional consult or lab result interpretation. You will be charged an Additional Services Fee of $125.00 for each additional at-home blood draw. As part of your participation in the Program, you agree that any Additional Services Fees that you incur can be charged to your payment card or PayPal account on file within seven (7) days of the date on when such Additional Services are rendered.
The Membership Services may change from time to time. You will be given thirty (30) days’ notice of any such change. You may accept the revised Membership Services by continuing in the Program or reject them by terminating your Membership.
At-home phlebotomy services
In order to participate in the Program, you must periodically obtain medically necessary laboratory testing (bloodwork). As part of the Membership Services, you will receive up to eight (8) at-home blood draws from our partner mobile phlebotomy provider. You agree to receive at-home phlebotomy services from our mobile phlebotomy partner for any laboratory testing required by your OPTIMIZED HEALTH-affiliated health care provider as part of the Program.
Laboratory testing services not included
In order to participate in the Program, you must periodically obtain medically necessary laboratory testing (bloodwork). Your blood sample, once collected by our mobile phlebotomy partner, will be processed and tested by Quest Diagnostics. You acknowledge and agree that your Membership Fee does not include the cost of any laboratory services provided by Quest and that OPTIMIZED HEALTH is not responsible for any such costs. Quest determines the charges for its laboratory testing services and may bill you directly for any amounts that you owe Quest based on your agreement with Quest. Your payment arrangement with Quest is not governed by these Terms of Use. Contact Quest directly for more information about pricing and payment for laboratory testing services.
Payment of Membership Fee
You will have an opportunity to review and agree to the cost of Membership (the “Membership Fee”) during the checkout process that is part of the Diagnosis Online Visit. You may also view the costs associated with Membership on the Program webpage located here. Once you begin participation in the Program, your Membership Fee will be automatically charged to your payment card or PayPal account on file on a recurring, monthly basis (approximately every 28-30 days) until your Membership is canceled. The initial payment must be made the day your Membership commences. Once paid, your Membership Fee is non-refundable. You may cancel your Membership at any time by calling us at (845) 853-2569, emailing us at cs@optimized.health, or logging into your Secure User account.
If you choose to have your prescription filled at a local pharmacy, your Membership Fee will not include the cost of medication and pharmacy fulfillment. If you transfer your prescription from a local pharmacy to the OPTIMIZED HEALTH Pharmacy Network, the cost of medication and pharmacy fulfillment will be added to your Membership Fee at the beginning of the next billing cycle. You may transfer your prescription to a local pharmacy or to the Bask Pharmacy Network at any time by calling us at (845) 853-2569 or emailing us at cs@optimized.health.
Canceling your Membership
You may cancel your Membership at any time by calling us at (845) 853-2569, emailing us at cs@optimized.health, or logging into your Secure User account. Any Membership Fees paid prior to the date of cancellation are non-refundable.
Delaying your Membership
If you would like to delay your billing date for any reason, you may delay by logging into your Secure User account, calling us at (845) 853-2569, or emailing us at cs@optimized.health. You may learn more about how to initiate a delay through your Secure User account in the FAQs located here. When you delay, you will not be charged a Membership Fee until the end of the delay period that you have selected. During such period, you will not be eligible to receive any Membership Services, except you may still message your OPTIMIZED HEALTH-affiliated health care professional through OPTIMIZED HEALTH’s secure messaging application at any time. Delaying could impact your ability to adhere to your treatment plan. As a result, at your OPTIMIZED HEALTH-affiliated health care provider’s discretion, you may need to be re-evaluated and undergo additional laboratory testing before continuing with treatment (a “Continuation Visit”) at the end of a delay period. If you delay for a cumulative period of eight (8) consecutive weeks or more without scheduling a Continuation Visit, your Membership may be canceled without notice.
Pausing your Membership
If you would like to pause your Membership by turning off auto-payments (going “On-demand”) for any reason, you may do so by logging into your Secure User account, calling us at (845) 853-2569, or emailing us at cs@optimized.health. You may learn more about how to go On-demand through your Secure User account in the FAQs located here. When you go On-demand, you will not be charged any additional monthly Membership Fee payments until you initiate a charge by ordering a refill of your medication or turning auto-payments back on. You will receive Membership Services through the last day of the monthly billing cycle for which you have paid the monthly Membership Fee. Thereafter, other than messaging your OPTIMIZED HEALTH-affiliated health care professional through OPTIMIZED HEALTH’s secure messaging application, you will not be eligible to receive any Membership Services until you initiate another charge as described above. Going On-demand could impact your ability to adhere to your treatment plan. As a result, at your OPTIMIZED HEALTH-affiliated health care provider’s discretion, you may need to undergo a Continuation Visit before continuing with treatment at the end of an On-demand period. If you remain On-demand for a cumulative period of eight (8) consecutive weeks or more without scheduling a Continuation Visit, your Membership may be canceled without notice.
No Testosterone Replacement Therapy
The Program is not appropriate for patients seeking testosterone replacement therapy (commonly referred to as “TRT”), such as testosterone patches, gels, injections, or pellets. Providers participating in the Program cannot prescribe TRT by telehealth. Please contact your in-person provider to seek TRT options.
No representation, warranty, or guarantee of continued availability of the Program
NEITHER OPTIMIZED HEALTH NOR THE AFFILIATED PROFESSIONAL ENTITIES MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES REGARDING THE CONTINUED AVAILABILITY OF THE PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM MAY BE DISCONTINUED AT ANY TIME AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF OPTIMIZED HEALTH AND/OR THE AFFILIATED PROFESSIONAL ENTITIES. YOU WILL BE GIVEN 30 DAYS’ NOTICE OF ANY SUCH DISCONTINUATION SO THAT YOU MAY FIND A LOCAL PROVIDER WITH WHOM TO CONTINUE TREATMENT.

Asynchronous Telemedicine Informed Consent Thank you for choosing Beluga Health, P.A. (“Beluga”)! You are viewing this form because you have elected to engage in asynchronoustelemedicine visits with a Beluga healthcare practitioner. Your practitioner is a board-certified physician licensed in your state. By clicking “I Agree,” I ACKNOWLEDGE I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE TERMS PRESENTED BELOW, AND UNDERSTAND THE RISKS AND BENEFITS OF ASYNCHRONOUS TELEMEDICINE, AND BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS OF USE I HEREBY GIVE MY INFORMED CONSENT TO PARTICIPATE IN ASYNCHRONOUS TELEMEDICINE UNDER THESE TERMS. What is Telemedicine? Telemedicine is the delivery of healthcare services, including examination, consultation, diagnosis, and treatment, through electronic communication technologies when you (the patient) are located in a different location than your healthcare practitioner. Beluga allows you to receive treatment from a healthcare practitioner without having to travel to another location or schedule a separate appointment and helps you avoid long wait times that you might otherwise experience at an in-person visit. What is Asynchronous Telemedicine? Asynchronous telemedicine is one way to deliver telemedicine. Asynchronous communication is often referred to as “store-and-forward” communication, where participants submit and collect data at different times. An example of asynchronous communication is a telemedicine encounter with a healthcare practitioner that involves sending photos, video, or other communications via email or text message. “Asynchronous” means “not occurring at the same time” and is different from “synchronous” telemedicine, which generally includes visits conducted in real-time between patients and healthcare practitioners through audio or video means (e.g., live phone calls or video-conferencing). Healthcare practitioners may use asynchronous telemedicine to aid in diagnoses and medical consultations when live communication or face-to-face contact is not possible or necessary. Beluga’s platform (“Platform”), in particular, allows for the following asynchronous telemedicine services: 1) text-based healthcare practitioner-patient interactions through short message service (“SMS”) and multimedia messaging service (“MMS”) communications; and 2) secure information collection through asynchronous store-and-forward patient questionnaires. What are the Possible Risks to Using Asynchronous Telemedicine? As with any medical treatment, there are potential risks associated with the use of asynchronous telemedicine. Beluga believes that the likelihood of these risks materializing is very low. These risks may include, without limitation, the following: • Delays in medical evaluation and consultation or treatment may occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment or the Internet, which may include poor data quality, Internet outages, or other service interruption issues. You may reschedule the visit with your healthcare practitioner should these interruptions occur. • Security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information. • Because Beluga does not have access to your complete medical records, if you do not disclose to your healthcare practitioner a full list of your medical history including diagnoses, treatments, medications/supplements, and allergies, adverse treatment, drug interactions or allergic reactions, or other negative outcomes may occur. • Asynchronous telemedicine services are NOT emergency services and your Personal Data (as defined in the Beluga Privacy Policy) WILL NOT BE MONITORED 24/7. If you think you are experiencing a medical emergency, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY. THE CARE YOU RECEIVE WILL BE AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONER WHO IS TREATING YOU, WITH NO GUARANTEE OF DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, OR PRESCRIPTION. THE HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONER WILL DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE CONDITION BEING DIAGNOSED AND/OR TREATED IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE CARE PROVIDED THROUGH AN ASYNCHRONOUS TELEMEDICINE ENCOUNTER VIA THE PLATFORM.
Your Rights and Acknowledgements:
• You have the same privacy rights via asynchronous telemedicine that you would have during an in-person visit. Dissemination of any identifiable images or information from the asynchronous telemedicine visit to researchers or other entities will not occur without your written consent.

• You understand that your healthcare information may be shared with other individuals in accordance with the Beluga Privacy Policy and regulations or laws in state or territory in which you are located. • You further understand that your healthcare information may be shared in the following circumstances: o When a valid court order is issued for medical records. o Reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. o Preventing or reducing a serious threat to anyone's health or safety. Call/Email/Text Messaging Consent: You expressly consent to allow Beluga or its healthcare practitioners to call, email, or text you (via SMS and/or MMS) with or regarding Personal Data (as defined in the Beluga Privacy Policy), appointments, or similar matters related to your telemedicine encounters using the contact information you have provided. Any calls or texts to you may be placed using an auto-dialer or a pre-recorded or artificial voice, even if your number is on a do-not-call list. Your phone carrier’s normal rates may apply. This is consent, not a condition of purchase. You may revoke this consent at any time by emailing us at admin@belugahealth.com. This Asynchronous Telemedicine Informed Consent is valid during your entire treatment with Beluga.
